A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

It has been a while since the last one. So...

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.

You misunderstand potatos. Rice and corn both have high sensitivity to soil quality. Potatos have low sensitivity. So with normal or better soil rice and corn both get a big speed boost and potatos get a small speed boost.

With poor soil rice and corn get a big speed penalty potatos get small speed penalty.

So normal or better soil plant rice or corn. Poor soil plant potatos.

you are right!

i did actually forget about that when commenting, and thanks for the added info!

however, that's not exactly what i was talking about:

assuming normal or better soil you need less work (i.e. time spent working the fields) per unit of nutrition when moving from rice->potato->corn because of yield.

so your pawns spend less time planting and harvesting, which results in higher overall colony productivity since they can do other stuff in-between, like cooking, cleaning, mining, etc.

you are correct in that you should choose which plant you use based on the soil first, and according to productivity second!

i just wasn't really considering soil quality when writing the comment...
